This event will discuss how and why nanomaterials and the relevant research are sometimes misrepresented in the media, and how this can negatively affect the sector.
We will hear from science and media experts on what researchers should keep in mind when addressing the broader public; how companies can address negative coverage and improve their communications strategies; and look at concrete examples of risk governance and communication developed in EU projects
The webinar is free and open to all, and registration is open at this link.
